Trump repeats false claim about steel plants

[left-of-center2012]

The president repeated his frequent false claim that steel plants are opening all over the country.

Trump 4:37 AM - Nov 29, 2018

“Big Steel is opening and renovating plants all over the country.
Auto companies are pouring into the U.S., including BMW,
which just announced a major new plant.”

The claim was repeatedly debunked by fact-checkers from ABC News and other news organizations ... and the White House has declined to elaborate on what the president is actually referring to,
although U.S. Steel has said it has restarted some blast furnaces ...

BMW offered its own response to the president's tweet, confirming only that they “are considering building an engine plant in the U.S.”
But it did not go as far as the president, who said the car company has “just announced a major new plant.”
